There is a GConf switch, that enables threading-by-subject in addition
to threading-by-reference. The following command should set it:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_subject -t bool true

You mean within Evolution? Set up a Filter which pipes the mail to an
external app, deciding it's status by the return value. Or you can use
SpamAssassin, which is conveniently integrated in Evo UI to some extent.
Then again: Why do want to use Spambayes within Evo, as you already use
it called by procmail?
You still can use the environment you used to: fetchmail, procmail,
Spambayes, Maildir. There is a "Maildir" account in Evo.

No, there is no way to associate arbitrary commands to that button.
But if you are concerned about online time and can't let fetchmail poll
every few minutes on its own [1], you can set up a new launcher on your
desktop/panel calling fetchmail to retrieve mails. Yeah, it's a
workaround, but a nice one. ;)

processed, scanned and sorted -- they are just there :)
